Something I've been wondering about, but never seen with regards to the whole crypto export argument is this: If the terrorists are worried enough to be using cryptography in the first place, what's to stop them from going out, and finding some 3l33t warez d00d that has something that they wouldn't be able to buy in their country, and download it anyways? If they're planning on blowing up a building, I'm doubting that they'll be worried about a slap on the wrist from the SPA or the BSA. Or am I just misjudging terrorists?
